the shut-off valve at the fuel tank and then start the
generatorset. Allow the generator set to operate until
it runs out of fuel. Crank the set a few times after
it
stops to make sure the fuel system is completely
purged of
all
LP
gas fuel.
If the generator set cannot be operated, move the
RV
coach to an outdoor location that is well ventilated
and is away from fire or flame. Disconnect both the
vehicle negative
(-)
battery cable and the generator
set negative
(-)
battery cable from their respective
battery terminals. Close the fuel shutoff valves at the
fuel tank for both thegeneratorset fuel supply system
and the appliance (stove, heater, etc) fuel supply sys-
tem. In addition, close the fuel shutoff valves at each
appliance.
Fuel presents the hazard
of
fire or
explosion which can cause severe
personal injury or death. Eliminate all possible sour-
ces of ignition such as pilot lights or sparking electrl-
cai equipment before purging LP gas from the fuel
system. Provide adequate ventilation to dissipate LP
gas as it
is
released.
Slightly open the fuel line (flexible section) at the
solenoid valve just enough to allow the LP gas to
slowly escape. Don’t open the fitting too much or a
large quantity of gas will be released.
Disconnect the fuel supply hose from the carburetor
and hold
it
clear of the set. Press in and hold the
primer button on the regulator to release
LP
gas from
the set fuel system. When no more gas can be heard
escaping from the open end
of
the fuel supply hose,
reconnect the hose to the carburetor and proceed to
the appropriate set removal section.
Disconnecting Set
from
RV
Systems
Disconnect the following items from the generator
set.
1.
Disconnect the vehicle negative
(-)
battery cable
at the battery terminal.
2.
Disconnect the generator set negative
(-)
battery
cable at the battery terminal.
3.
Disconnect the generator set positive
(+)
battery
cable from the start solenoid.
4.
Disconnect the remotecontrol wire plug from the
generator set control.
5.
Disconnect the generator load wires at the
RV
electrical system junction box. Tag the
RV
circuit
wires if necessary for positive identification.
6.
Loosen the conduit connector and pull the load
wires and flexible conduit free of the junction
box.
7.
Disconnect the muffler from the exhaust mani-
fold at the flange connection and disconnect any
support brackets or hangers that connect the
muffler to the set.
8.
On gasoline fueled sets, turn off the fuel shutoff
valve in the compartment and disconnect the fuel
line at the fuel pump. Securely plug the end of the
fuel line to prevent leakage or accumulation of
explosive gasoline vapor.
Fuel presents the hazard of fire
or explosion which can cause
severe personal injury or death. Make certain all
fuel line openings are plugged to prevent gaso-
line vapor from accumulating.
On
LP
Gas (propane) fueled sets, disconnectthe fuel
line (afterpurging) at thesolenoid valve and plug end
of the fuel line to prevent entrance of dirt.
Removing Conventional Compartment Mounted
Set
From
RV
When the generator set has been disconnected from
the electrical, exhaust, and fuel systems, examine the
set mounting and support system. Locate all mount-
ing bolts and support members for the set. In most
installations, the generator set drip tray will be bolted
to the coach framework. Depending on the installa-
tion, theset may be removable from theside, back, or
bottom.
Verify that the generator set is adequately supported
before loosening any
of
the mounting bolts or sup-
port members. The most satisfactory way to lift or
move the generator set is to use a fork lift truck.
The generator set Is heavy and can
lZiBWGl
cause severe personal injury if
dropped during removal. Use the recommended
removal techniques and keep hands and feet clear
while removing mounting bolts.
